what a great secretary of defense chuck hagel would make. in 2008 hagel didn't endorse him, but his wife endorsed barack obama. this is personal pettiness. he can't come out and say things like why the surge didn't actually work; that it was all bribes. that's how the whole thing was pulled off. this was john mccain trying to make himself look statesman like beating the crap out of his friend not to mention a previous infantry man. >> stephanie: exactly. >> did i miss anything? >> stephanie: no, i think you like it. >> i also like hearing that chuck hagel is a jew hater from beck stan. >> stephanie: exactly. he repeated his regrets about using the term jewish lobby. he said he should not used those words. he said i'm sorry and i regret it. i should have said influence would have been more appropriate. >> if chuck hagel said i'm not going to let any foreign lobby push me around, then he would have applauded his patriotism, but in fairness to lindsay graham, it seem like chuck hagel was coached heavily by barack obama's first debate coach. >>

earlier today there was a cloture vote on chuck hagel. this is essentially what we knew last week is that republicans were going to hold up the eventual askengs of chuck hagel to become defense secretary in case there was anything in his past that could damn him. seven days later apparently there's nothing in his past so they're comfortable moving forward. he's expected to be confirmed probably within the next five minutes. you can even have it in this block if we're so fortunate. >> does that not prove that the whole nonsense around the nomination process on this man was simply invented? it was theatrics. there was no substance. it's the same as the friends of hamas. shall are they? >> reporter: i think it does show that the republican strategy was to try to bloody him as much as possible with the belief if they were able to do it enough he would perhaps withdraw. he was pretty vehement last week he would not withdraw. now with the sequester looking like it's going to go forward, my calculations there's $46 billion in military cuts over
